Additional Details:
On a visit to Hannibal in later years Mark Twain walked on Cardiff Hill with John Briggs, the "Joe Harper" of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," and said, "This is one of the loveliest sights I ever saw. Down there is where we used to swim, and yonder is where a man was drowned, and there's where the steamboat sank..." Over towards the Illinois shore Jackson's Island can be seen; in the foreground the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge; Hannibal's fine Municipal Light Plant in the center.
